[final iron]

Send to the channel?

[latent jay]

well yeah

[final iron]

!d discord.Interaction.channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.channel

The channel the interaction was sent from.

Note that due to a Discord limitation, if sent from a DM channel recipient is None.

[slate swan]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see discord.py's related guide, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[potent arrow]

Is it possible to do context menu commands in a separate file then call them in main?

[potent arrow]

I want to try and clean up my code as to not have it all in one file

[turbid condor]

you can use cogs

[latent jay]

command_list = [(command.name, command.help) for command in client.commands]

displaying only one command although I have multiple?

[glad cradle]

are they application commands?

why everyone call a Bot instance "client"

[shrewd fjord]

Try with client.walk_commands()

[latent jay]

Yes

[shrewd fjord]

Also instead its preferred to use command.qualified_name instead of name

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.walk_commands

[young dagger]

Is there any way to delete the message without having to await?

dm_message = client.get_partial_messageable(channel_id).get_partial_message(message_id) 
await dm_message.delete()```

[vale wing]

All api requests must be awaited but if you need to do async function in non-async context you can use asyncio.create_task() or run_coroutine_threadsafe()

[young dagger]

No I mean do I need to do it this way to remove the DM or is there other ways to do it?

[vale wing]

Wdyem "remove dm"

Delete message?

[young dagger]

Well we are using get_partial_messageable and get_partial_message

Then await delete to actually delete the DM

[vale wing]

Yeah that is a message

You need to do it without await or what

[young dagger]

Is this the way you would do it?

[vale wing]

create_task yeah

[young dagger]

Also why do we need a channel id to remove a DM? Why is it not enough with just the message id?

[vale wing]

I assume it's either message ids are not globally unique or global lookup is way too expensive

[slate swan]

can i pay someone to make me a discord bot

[vale wing]

!rule paid

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

9. Do not offer or ask for paid work of any kind.

[slate swan]

Woops

Why can’t i

[young dagger]

Woudln't it be easier to just save the URL for the DM in database to use for deletion?

Because now we must save both channel id and message id

[vale wing]

I think url already contains channel id and message id

[young dagger]

Right

So why not just use the url to remove the DM

[vale wing]

So you ain't saving space, quite the opposite

[shrewd fjord]

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah

But you have to fetch the message anyway

[slate swan]

?

[shrewd fjord]

Nothing

[young dagger]

We should still use this method to fetch and remove it?

dm_message = client.get_partial_messageable(channel_id).get_partial_message(message_id) 
await dm_message.delete()```

[shrewd fjord]

It doesn't fetch any message

Thats what partial does, it does not require make http request to get anu resource, it builds a partial class of actual class

!d discord.Message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message

class discord.Message```
Represents a message from Discord.

x == y Checks if two messages are equal.

x != y Checks if two messages are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the message’s hash.

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.PartialMessage

[unkempt canyon]

discord.PartialMessage

class discord.PartialMessage(*, channel, id)```
Represents a partial message to aid with working messages when only a message and channel ID are present.

There are two ways to construct this class. The first one is through the constructor itself, and the second is via the following...

[slate swan]

!d

[shrewd fjord]

One can be constructed by requesting to discord api only, and other one you can construct it

#bot-commands

Please keep this channel clean

[slate swan]

why can’t i pay someone to make me a bot here

[shrewd fjord]

Its against discord TOS but people are doing it anyway like me

[slate swan]

How much for one

[young dagger]

Because this Discord server is not meant for selling your services

[slate swan]

[glad cradle]

then you need

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.walk_commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.walk\_commands

for ... in walk_commands(*, guild=None, type=<AppCommandType.chat_input: 1>)```
An iterator that recursively walks through all application commands and child commands from the tree.

[glad cradle]

and you get the tree using

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.tree

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.tree

property tree```
The command tree responsible for handling the application commands in this bot.

Yo can someone help me whit on_member_joind it dosent send or react to the event what can the problem be?
Code:

@client.event
async def on_memmber_joind(member):
    await print("1")
    #role = client.get_guild(676446095739453450).get_roles(1146014701575221268)
    channel = client.get_guild(676446095739453450).get_channel(1146014701575221268)
    
    embed=discord.Embed(title=f"Welcome to Rash", description=f"Welcome {member.mention} Make sure to read [#719174215961542697](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/719174215961542697/) and [#719174187188748299](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/719174187188748299/)", url=f"{member.avatar_url}", color=0x000000)

    await channel.send(embed=embed)
    #await member.add_roles(role)
    await print("2")```

[slate swan]

Look at the event name function again

And double check you have the intent enabled afterwards

[next heath]

Oh... 🤣

[slate swan]

you dont await the print ...

[robust fulcrum]

Why you awaiting print without any reason, do you know what await means?

[next heath]

Just brain error 🤣

[dreamy trench]

Hi, I need to make a quick script that send a notification on discord when a build has completed. I have achived sending messages to our builds channel with the attached code. Now I need to do this inside a function that can be called from another script?

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='\\', intents=discord.Intents.all())

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Bot is ready!")
    channel = bot.get_channel(BUILDS_CHANNEL_ID)
    await channel.send("Hello World!")

bot.run(token=TOKEN)

def Notify(notification):
  ...?

[final iron]

What is this notify function supposed to do?

[dreamy trench]

Send a notification/ I found another solution using webhooks that works better :)

[winter hare]

so i have this wiithin my modal class

        async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
            embed = interaction.message.embeds[0]
            if self.ftext:
                embed.set_footer(text=self.ftext.value, icon_url=self.fticon.value)

            if self.time.value.lower() == "yes":
                embed.timestamp = datetime.now()
            else:
                embed.timestamp = None

            await interaction.message.edit(embed=embed)
            await interaction.response.send_message()```

when i removed the last line of code the embed edited but the modal said interaction failed is there a way to edit the embed without having to send a message

[final iron]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.edit_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.edit\_message

await edit_message(*, content=..., embed=..., embeds=..., attachments=..., view=..., allowed_mentions=..., delete_after=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Responds to this interaction by editing the original message of a component or modal interaction.

[winter hare]

thank u

[runic hemlock]

does anyone know how to include graphics in discord bots

[fading marlin]

Could you elaborate? Do you mean buttons/drop down menus?

[final iron]

What do you mean by graphics

[vocal rivet]

How can I check when a member's given a timeout and who gave them the timeout?

[final iron]

!d discord.on_auditlog_entry

[unkempt canyon]

Nope.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[final iron]

!d discord.on_audit_log_entry_create

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_audit\_log\_entry\_create

discord.on_audit_log_entry_create(entry)```
Called when a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild) gets a new audit log entry. You must have [`view_audit_log`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.view_audit_log) to receive this.

This requires [`Intents.moderation`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.moderation) to be enabled.

New in version 2.2.

Warning

Audit log entries received through the gateway are subject to data retrieval from cache rather than REST. This means that some data might not be present when you expect it to be. For example, the [`AuditLogEntry.target`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.AuditLogEntry.target) attribute will usually be a [`discord.Object`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Object) and the [`AuditLogEntry.user`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.AuditLogEntry.user) attribute will depend on user and member cache.

To get the user ID of entry, [`AuditLogEntry.user_id`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.AuditLogEntry.user_id) can be used instead.

[vocal rivet]

Thanks

[vocal rivet]

There's nothing for timeouts there

There's something called "automod_timeout_member" but that's not what I'm looking for

[final iron]

Oh that’s my bad

!d discord.on_member_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_update

discord.on_member_update(before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member) updates their profile.

This is called when one or more of the following things change...

[vocal rivet]

Yeah that's what I was bouta say

[final iron]

You can use that to see when a member is timed out

Then you’ll have to query the audit log to see who did it

[vocal rivet]

Can I also see who timed them out?

[vocal rivet]

Oh rip

Why's this so complicated

[final iron]

Discord being discord

[slate swan]

How do I get started making a Discord bot?

[final iron]

1. Take a look at https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_bot.py Mess around.
2. When you start making your bot, use the commands ext: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html
   or if you wanna use slash commands: https://gist.github.com/AbstractUmbra/a9c188797ae194e592efe05fa129c57f
3. The library documentation is available at https://discordpy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

And DON'T follow ANY Youtube tutorials

I have yet to see 1 that doesn't have issues

[latent jay]

Still only prints 'help' command

[final iron]

Share your current code

client = commands.Bot(etc..)
tree = client.tree

[shrewd fjord]

Name it bot in the first place

[latent jay]

It's not named either of those I just replaced it with client for the snippet

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.command

@command(*, name=..., description=..., nsfw=False, guild=..., guilds=..., auto_locale_strings=True, extras=...)```
A decorator that creates an application command from a regular function directly under this tree.

[shrewd fjord]

Huh

[shrewd fjord]

command_list = [(command.name, command.help) for command in client.tree.walk_commands()]

[latent jay]

pretty sure I tried that and it returned an empty list

[shrewd fjord]

It will be client.tree to get all app commands

[shrewd fjord]

... did you sync your command

[latent jay]

tree already is client.tree so I could just do tree.walk_commands() no?

[shrewd fjord]

How many commands do you have anyway and do they show up in the discord? Also use command.qualified_name

[shrewd fjord]

Yes

[latent jay]

they do show up in discord and there's 3 rn

and yes I sync them before

[elder locust]

ok I'm embarrassed. I can't get this command to work and I don't understand why, been a long time since I used discord.py

import discord, asyncio
from discord import app_commands
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="/", intents=discord.Intents.all())


@bot.tree.command(name="hello", description="My first application Command")
async def hello(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("Hello!")


@bot.command(name="ping")
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("pong")


@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    for guild in bot.guilds:
        await bot.tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(id=guild.id))


bot.run("*")

/ping works fine but when i do /hello I get discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "hello" is not found

[latent jay]

yeah /help returns an empty list

[shrewd fjord]

Well your hello is a actual slash command, so you have to sync it

[elder locust]

that's whats happening in on_ready() right?

[shrewd fjord]

Try printing command list

[latent jay]

that's what's returning an empty list

[shrewd fjord]

Uh weird, i will get to you kater

[latent jay]

yeah Idk why it's doing it either

Im on d.py v2.3.2

[shrewd fjord]

Its not good to sync command in on_ready but for noe just use await bot.tree.sync() get rid of the loop

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.walk_commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.walk\_commands

for ... in walk_commands(*, guild=None, type=<AppCommandType.chat_input: 1>)```
An iterator that recursively walks through all application commands and child commands from the tree.

[shrewd fjord]

@latent jay walk_commands(guild=ctx.guild)

[latent jay]

you can't use ctx in an interaction?

[shrewd fjord]

then use interaction.guild

[latent jay]

yeah that worked

why does guild need to be included I am confused

[shrewd fjord]

Nice

[shrewd fjord]

Because you are syncing your commands in specific guild

[latent jay]

so to sync globally?

[shrewd fjord]

just do not pass guild=... In your command deco and just call sync() where you sync ur cmds

[latent jay]

but that's what I was doing before where it'd only return an empty list?

[elder locust]

using it in on_ready is my problem somehow, I put the sync command in a normal command and after triggering that it showed up

[shrewd fjord]

I said command decorator,
@tree.command(..., guild=...)

[shrewd fjord]

Ggs

[elder locust]

where do I put it other than on_ready though so I dont have to do a command everytime it boots up

[latent jay]

ohh yeah that makes sense I'm so slow

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.Client.setup_hook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.setup\_hook

await setup_hook()```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

A coroutine to be called to setup the bot, by default this is blank.

To perform asynchronous setup after the bot is logged in but before it has connected to the Websocket, overwrite this coroutine.

This is only called once, in [`login()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.login), and will be called before any events are dispatched, making it a better solution than doing such setup in the [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_ready) event.

Warning

Since this is called *before* the websocket connection is made therefore anything that waits for the websocket will deadlock, this includes things like [`wait_for()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.wait_for) and [`wait_until_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.wait_until_ready)...

[potent light]

If you override it as an event it'll run automatically when the bot goes online:

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_ready(self):
  print("bot is online")

[hallow kernel]

import discord
bot = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents())
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    user = await bot.fetch_user("curome")
    print(user.avatar_url)
    await bot.close()
bot.run("token")

So.. it is one of solutions.
Actually what i need is skript that will print my avatar url to stdout.
Is there any faster + lighter ways.. like single request with curl?

[naive briar]

Me when people call discord.Client "bot" and use a string on fetch_user 🫠

[naive briar]

Use the API to fetch the raw user object directly (take a look at the User section). After that you'd get the user's avatar hash that you can format it to the avatar CDN URL

Probably should've suppress those embeds

[hallow kernel]

Ty
I got it like that

[naive briar]

You should be able to adjust the sizes

[hallow kernel]

Doesn't matter show_pfp only to test if it is valid

[naive briar]

The returned size can be changed by appending a querystring of ?size=desired_size to the URL. Image size can be any power of two between 16 and 4096.

[hallow kernel]

Uh that

[naive briar]

[hallow kernel]

Um, default still will work, i mean, default is ok to use as pfp on other platforms?

[brazen raft]

Called when the client is done preparing the data received from Discord. Usually after login is successful and the Client.guilds and co. are filled up.
WARNING: This function is not guaranteed to be the first event called. Likewise, this function is not guaranteed to only be called once. This library implements reconnection logic and thus will end up calling this event whenever a RESUME request fails.

await setup_hook()

A coroutine to be called to setup the bot, by default this is blank.
...
This is only called once, in login(), and will be called before any events are dispatched, making it a better solution than doing such setup in the on_ready() event.

[sacred wolf]

Simple ticket discord

[hollow zinc]

Probably. Can you switch that to the glob.glob

[golden portal]

well you should try it first, im pretty much eating right now because that was sent before i was eating

[final iron]

?

[sacred wolf]

ticket bot discord for example give me 😐

[hollow zinc]

Can't find source for that glob.glob for cogs

[fiery girder]

you need to use either hybrid command in hello or change the prefix to ! or something the tree command mainly works on / app commands so you need to select it from the meny

[fiery girder]

and also put the tree command in setup_hook

[golden portal]

!d glob.glob

[unkempt canyon]

glob.glob

glob.glob(pathname, *, root_dir=None, dir_fd=None, recursive=False, include_hidden=False)```
Return a possibly empty list of path names that match *pathname*, which must be a string containing a path specification. *pathname* can be either absolute (like `/usr/src/Python-1.5/Makefile`) or relative (like `../../Tools/*/*.gif`), and can contain shell-style wildcards. Broken symlinks are included in the results (as in the shell). Whether or not the results are sorted depends on the file system. If a file that satisfies conditions is removed or added during the call of this function, whether a path name for that file will be included is unspecified.

[vale wing]

!d pathlib.Path.glob also

[unkempt canyon]

pathlib.Path.glob

Path.glob(pattern, *, case_sensitive=None)```
Glob the given relative *pattern* in the directory represented by this path, yielding all matching files (of any kind):

```py
>>> sorted(Path('.').glob('*.py'))
[PosixPath('pathlib.py'), PosixPath('setup.py'), PosixPath('test_pathlib.py')]
>>> sorted(Path('.').glob('*/*.py'))
[PosixPath('docs/conf.py')]
```  Patterns are the same as for [`fnmatch`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/fnmatch.html#module-fnmatch), with the addition of “`**`” which means “this directory and all subdirectories, recursively”. In other words, it enables recursive globbing...

[hollow zinc]

Amm how do i use it in my code?

[naive briar]

Like any other code that uses it

[fiery girder]

hey can someone help me with setting up custom prefix for all indivisual servers

[naive briar]

You need to learn to mix things on your own sometimes

!e

from glob import glob

print(*glob("../*"), sep="\n")

[unkempt canyon]

[fiery girder]

catlover you know about how to setup custopm prefix?

for every server

i am using a .db file btw

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot the command_prefix argument can be set to a coroutine(I believe). You just want to process the things with the coroutine and return a string that will be the prefix

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, *, help_command=<default-help-command>, tree_cls=<class 'discord.app_commands.tree.CommandTree'>, description=None, intents, **options)```
Represents a Discord bot.

This class is a subclass of [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client) and as a result anything that you can do with a [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client) you can do with this bot.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin) to provide the functionality to manage commands.

Unlike [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client), this class does not require manually setting a [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree) and is automatically set upon instantiating the class.

async with x Asynchronously initialises the bot and automatically cleans up.

New in version 2.0.

  File "c:\Users\ASUS\OneDrive\Desktop\Tindbot\main.py", line 20
    await bot.load_extension('jishaku')
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: 'await' outside function

[Done] exited with code=1 in 0.391 seconds```

[fiery girder]

huh

did you forget to leave indentation

await can only be in async def function

[tiny ibex]

I don't think bot.load_extension is supposed to be inside a async def function

[fiery girder]

just put it in on_ready

[tiny ibex]

put wot?

[fiery girder]

the bot.load_extension

[tiny ibex]

My old bots never required that

[fiery girder]

do

async def on_ready():
      print(f"Logged In As {bot.user}")
      await bot.load_extension()

[tiny ibex]

That works

[fiery girder]

it worked?

[tiny ibex]

But why won't it work without the function

[tiny ibex]

yea

[fiery girder]

cause you need to await the function

coruntine it

[tiny ibex]

I never did it earlier yet it used to work

[fiery girder]

prob a new discord bot feature i dont really know i started like a few months ago

[tiny ibex]

Ahh

I am coding after an year so I don't know much

[fiery girder]

yea it happens i guess

ok seeya gotta work on my bot

[tiny ibex]

can anyone pls give me an example of a slah command

[fiery girder]

sure

@bot.hybrid_command(name="ping", description="Get the bot's ping.")
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send(f"Pong! {round(bot.latency * 1000)}ms")

[tiny ibex]

tysm

[fiery girder]

can anyone get this error cause i got get it

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/62HA

the code

[golden portal]

get_prefix should be an async function since you override it in the bot class

[fiery girder]

so i should use async def get_prefix?

[golden portal]

yes

[fiery girder]

ok lemme try it

[golden portal]

tbf the proper way is to give a callable to command_prefix of Bot rather than directly override get_prefix

but it's whatev

[fiery girder]

i tried it but coudnt get it done

[golden portal]

something like this should be fine ```py
class Bot(commands.Bot):
def init(self):
super().init(self.get_bot_prefix, ...)

def get_bot_prefix(self, bot, message):
    ...

the argument for the callback takes in bot and a message object

[fiery girder]

a new error

[golden portal]

!e ```py
a = ('a', )
print(a[1])

[unkempt canyon]

@golden portal :x: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 1.

003 |     print(a[1])
004 |           ~^^^
005 | IndexError: tuple index out of range

[golden portal]

that's pretty much the error, you did fetchone and then proceeded to try to get the second element

[fiery girder]

first its not a tuple

but fetchone gives a whole list

the whole row

it should give all of that

so guild id should be 0

[golden portal]

!d sqlite3.Cursor.fetchone

[unkempt canyon]

sqlite3.Cursor.fetchone

fetchone()```
If [`row_factory`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite3.Cursor.row_factory) is `None`, return the next row query result set as a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple). Else, pass it to the row factory and return its result. Return `None` if no more data is available.

[fiery girder]

@golden portal and its also SELECT all

    db.execute("SELECT * FROM guild WHERE guild_id = ?", (message.guild.id,))

[golden portal]

error says otherwise

im not denying, i'm simply telling you the error

[fiery girder]

it was working like 5 mins ago

just when i put it the main_db.commit() it stopped working

see

[golden portal]

seriously, just please print your prefix so you can debug it

[fiery girder]

good idea

wanna know a life hack? @golden portal

[golden portal]

sure?

[fiery girder]

if you want to think about anything any problem just go to the freaking bathroom and take a Sh*t you will find the solution

[golden portal]

eh i usually take a shower if im stuck at programming, it does help with thinking

[fiery girder]

just go to the bathroom and do anything lol

it works

[golden portal]

understandable, anyways that's kinda off topic

[fiery girder]

tbh yea but i got the prefix problem fixed i think but i cant get the setup freaking working

@golden portal aperantly the on_message is not working

[golden portal]

just send the code here with the problem desc someone will help\

[fiery girder]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/2F4A

i set it that on_message it just prints the message and its not printing anything

ah fk

i am stupid as fk

i didnt do @bot.listen

[young kernel]

I have a question. If I have to keep a discord bot alive 24/7 for simple tasks and not that much traffic on a raspberry pi 4. Do I need a ice tower cooling or a case with cooling fan would be okay

[hushed galleon]

my rpi case fan worked fine (~36°C) even during compilation of packages, but it was pretty noisy for my room so i had gotten a 22dBA tower cooler to run off the 3V pin

[young kernel]

How's the cooling with the tower cooler?

[hushed galleon]

idling at 31° rn, without any fan it would be at 50° and at the occasional compiling of numpy would throttle it at 80°

(though i found out recently that the 64-bit OS allowed pip to install their precompiled wheels, so that stopped being an annoyance)

[brazen geyser]

hey guys, can someone tell me whats the difference between @discord.ui.Button and @discord.ui.button

[slate swan]

Button is a class itself while button is decorator that helps to make quick button

[brazen geyser]

and when should i use button and when Button?

[slate swan]

use @button im sure you will know when to use Button subclass

[brazen geyser]

im currently using button, but I want to make button that will jump to specific message

[slate swan]

class CustomButton(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, ...):
        # do startup stuff
    async def callback(self, ...):
        # do stuff

is the same as ```py

@discord.ui.button(...)
async def somename(...):
# do stuff

for example with just @button you cant really have dynamic button name and another properties

[slate swan]

just set url=...

[brazen geyser]

now i have thiss

[slate swan]

well thats not really how it works

[brazen geyser]

i know, its working on another button

[brazen geyser]

do you want to to make post in #1035199133436354600 ?

[slate swan]

you have to do self.add_item(Button(..., url="someurl"))

[slate swan]

no need

[brazen geyser]

im confused now

can I send you the whole code?

[slate swan]

sure

[brazen geyser]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[brazen geyser]

here it is

[slate swan]

yeah so

in __init__ method

you need to add this self.add_item(Button(label="something", style=..., url="your url to jump to"))

[brazen geyser]

now just Button isnt defined

so just add

[slate swan]

import it from discord.ui

[brazen geyser]

Button: discord.Button to __init__

[slate swan]

?

no on top add import

from discord.ui import Button

[brazen geyser]

ohh have it

and now whatt?

[slate swan]

what have you done so far

[brazen geyser]

imported Button, added item

[slate swan]

well jumptosuggestionurl isnt really a url

[brazen geyser]

its this

[slate swan]

you need actual url to message like [#discord-bots message](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/343944376055103488/)

[brazen geyser]

or it cant be like this?

[slate swan]

thats not the best solution

pass it to the __init__

def __init__(self, url) like so

then pass url to url in button

[brazen geyser]

like this?

[slate swan]

yeah but now

when creating the view you need to pass that url

in your case: await suggestlog.send(embed=approval, view = ApprovalSystem()) this line

[brazen geyser]

yeaa

[slate swan]

you are creating view, just add await suggestlog.send(embed=approval, view = ApprovalSystem("some cool url"))

[brazen geyser]

and can it be that suggmsg.jump_url?

[slate swan]

i would say it should be

[brazen geyser]

okay, have it

anything else?

[slate swan]

well i suggest you do that for each param instead of doing ApprovalSystem.something = something

[brazen geyser]

and rewrite all buttons to Buttons?

[slate swan]

class X:
    something = None

    def method(self):
        print(self.something)
``` instead do this ```py
class X:
    def __init__(self, something):
        self.something = something

    def method(self):
        print(self.something)

[slate swan]

nope

[brazen geyser]

why not, maybe its stupid question, im just asking

[slate swan]

imagine 2 users run the command at the same time

[brazen geyser]

and can i leave it just
def __init__(self, url, title, suggestion):

[slate swan]

the variable values will override

with your idea

[brazen geyser]

ohhh

[slate swan]

no you need to actually assign them to self

[brazen geyser]

def __init__(self, url, title, suggestion): self.title = title self.suggestion = suggestion

like this?

[slate swan]

!e ```py
class X:
something = None

def method(self):
    print(self.something)

x = X()
X.something = 123

y = X()
X.something = 456

x.method()
y.method()

ah cause i edited it for instance

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | 456
002 | 456

[slate swan]

see its being overriten

[slate swan]

yeah like that

[brazen geyser]

yeaaa

[brazen geyser]

i have it now

[slate swan]

!e ```py
class X:
def init(self, something):
self.something = something

def method(self):
    print(self.something)

x = X(123)
y = X(456)

x.method()
y.method()

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | 123
002 | 456

[slate swan]

with this approach you can even have 100 commands at once and it will still have correct values

[brazen geyser]

ohhhh, i understand noww

i have it, what nextt

[slate swan]

try out

[brazen geyser]

and can i delete this?

[slate swan]

yea

[brazen geyser]

omgg its workingg

and is there any way to like chance the order of that buttons?

[slate swan]

yea check out row

!d discord.ui.Button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button

class discord.ui.Button(*, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, label=None, disabled=False, custom_id=None, url=None, emoji=None, row=None)```
Represents a UI button.

New in version 2.0.

[brazen geyser]

ohh i understand now

and why im adding just this as Button and leaving the rest of buttons like button?

[slate swan]

!D discord.ui.button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.button

@discord.ui.button(*, label=None, custom_id=None, disabled=False, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, emoji=None, row=None)```
A decorator that attaches a button to a component.

The function being decorated should have three parameters, `self` representing the [`discord.ui.View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View), the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction) you receive and the [`discord.ui.Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button) being pressed.

Note

Buttons with a URL cannot be created with this function. Consider creating a [`Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button) manually instead. This is because buttons with a URL do not have a callback associated with them since Discord does not do any processing with it.

[slate swan]

read note from this ^

[brazen geyser]

ohh so the rest of it is just button because we dont need to pass url?

[slate swan]

nope the rest usses button because it has a callback

callback is basically what to do when clicked

but since url buttons dont have callbacks they cant be created using button

[brazen geyser]

ohhhh, so that interaction.responce.restofthecode...

[brazen geyser]

understandd

[brazen geyser]

but now it just moves it to another row, i want to have buttons "Accept", "Deny", "Jump to suggestion" and "Delete" in this exact order

[final iron]

I’m not exactly sure, but iirc by default it depends on the order they’re defined

[lavish harness]

I don't know if this should be here but

  File "/home/runner/NOA/.pythonlibs/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/ext/commands/bot.py", line 1350, in invoke

Anyone knows how to fix this? It was fine before I deleted a file and even after I replaced it it somehow still doesnt work

I can show the code if needed

[violet pivot]

hello does anyone can help me with a project that is using discord.py?

[slate swan]

you can't append items to a set but you can add

[slate swan]

yes people can help if you post code + errors/problems you're having

[violet pivot]

i dont know python

[lavish harness]

the program was perfectly running fine though, before i deleted a text file that the program uses

is there any way to like, make it work again without modifying code?

[slate swan]

it's recommended you know python to a reasonable level (enough to understand OOP, async-IO) before using discord.py

[violet pivot]

im fucking dumb bro my friend is showing me an book that is learning you python on his web

[slate swan]

well i would have thought just add back to text file but you can post the code for someone to look

[smoky cedar]

Has anyone been able to do unit testing on a slash command? If so, how can I trigger a command if I can't manually call the method?

[final iron]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.fetch_command
Will fetch the command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.fetch\_command

await fetch_command(command_id, /, *, guild=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Fetches an application command from the application.

[lavish harness]

https://pastebin.com/WEJacmxj

Here's the code to the program

[final iron]

You’ll have to do a bit of testing for calling it

Now the issue is, not sure how you’re going to pass the interaction arg

[sick birch]

You'll need to mock it

[final iron]

Unlike context, iirc theres no way to manually create an Interaction class

[final iron]

Like the package?

[sick birch]

The interactions object

If they wrote their code in a testable way (as they should) it should be pretty easy to mock and test

[final iron]

Oh, I thought you were talking about the mock package which is used to mock classes lol

[sick birch]

well yeah, you'd use the mock package to mock interactions

[smoky cedar]

Taking a look, thanks

[sick birch]

I mean, the one from unittest

or another mock package. doesn't really matter

[smoky cedar]

I can mock the interaction object, just need to figure out triggerring the command

[sick birch]

@smoky cedar this is how we unit test @unkempt canyon with mocked interaction if you're wondering: https://github.com/python-discord/bot/blob/main/tests/helpers.py#L510-L526

[slate swan]

on line 216 you're calling append on a set

[lavish harness]

append is for lists right?

[sick birch]

yes

Sets have .add

[lavish harness]

if so, how do i make the text file that the code uses into a list?

using add just breaks it more

[final iron]

I wouldn’t really be using a text file for that purpose

[lavish harness]

i think it's fine, gets the job done

[final iron]

Obviously it doesn’t get the job done if you’re having issues now lol

[slate swan]

use list built-in to convert, but yes use sqlite or something instead

[lavish harness]

How exactly can I do that?

[slate swan]

do which

[young dagger]

How do you set a nickname for the bot?

[vocal laurel]

!d discord.Message.add_reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.add\_reaction

await add_reaction(emoji, /)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Adds a reaction to the message.

The emoji may be a unicode emoji or a custom guild [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Emoji).

You must have [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history) to do this. If nobody else has reacted to the message using this emoji, [`add_reactions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.add_reactions) is required.

Changed in version 2.0: `emoji` parameter is now positional-only.

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError) instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[naive briar]

!d discord.Member.edit - the nick argument

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.edit

await edit(*, nick=..., mute=..., deafen=..., suppress=..., roles=..., voice_channel=..., timed_out_until=..., bypass_verification=..., reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the member’s data.

Depending on the parameter passed, this requires different permissions listed below...

[naive briar]

You can get the bot as discord.Member object from guild.me

!d discord.Guild.me

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.me

property me```
Similar to [`Client.user`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.user) except an instance of [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member). This is essentially used to get the member version of yourself.

[young dagger]

Is this correct?

me = discord.Guild.me
me.edit(nick="Hallowen Bot")```

[naive briar]

No, you need a guild instance

[vale wing]

When the OOP

[fiery girder]

F

[glad cradle]

discord().Guild().me().edit()

[vale wing]

Bro really instantiated discord 😭

[slate swan]

any coustom bot developer plz dm

[cosmic dome]

nice work

[fiery girder]

how can i make commands specific to a guild like i want a command that i can use to get the main database file but only i can use it on my server

[golden portal]

slash commands or text commands?

[fiery girder]

hybrid

[golden portal]

!d discord.app_commands.guilds

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.guilds

@discord.app_commands.guilds(*guild_ids)```
Associates the given guilds with the command.

When the command instance is added to a [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree), the guilds that are specified by this decorator become the default guilds that it’s added to rather than being a global command.

Note

Due to an implementation quirk and Python limitation, if this is used in conjunction with the [`CommandTree.command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.command) or [`CommandTree.context_menu()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.context_menu) decorator then this must go below that decorator.

Example...

[golden portal]

it would register your slash only to that guild

for text you would have to make your own check

[fiery girder]

what about hybrid?

i have to do both?

[golden portal]

yes

[restive talon]

Well you can add a check. Like check the guild id of the server the command is coming from and compare it to a list of 'verified' guilds.

[fiery girder]

wait i found on on overflow

[restive talon]

Ah alright!

[fiery girder]

@tree.command(name = "sync", description="Syncs the bot commands", guild=discord.Object(id=TEST_GUILD_ID))

can i use this with hybrid?

[golden portal]

that is only for slash

[idle lantern]

in discord py is there any way to trigger an interaction using message?

[golden portal]

your hybrid deco have the kwarg

[restive talon]

Hmm... What are you trying to do exactly?

[fiery girder]

explain the thing but i thin you can use the on_message

[idle lantern]

im trying to trigger an event by a message but it has to be ephemeral

[fiery girder]

like what

[restive talon]

Ephemeral event response to a message?

[fiery girder]

if you say hello it says hello back?

something like that??

[idle lantern]

yea but in ephemeral with an embed and buttons

[restive talon]

Ahh i see. Hmm...

[fiery girder]

i dont get it but you can use on_message can check if the message is what you want

then you can perform the task

[idle lantern]

it doesnt have ephemeral property

[fiery girder]

wdym

[restive talon]

No sorry ping when replying i am not fimiliar with any way to do that. I dont believe you can send views in an emphramal message.

[idle lantern]

that is possible

[fiery girder]

briefly explain your situation

[idle lantern]

but not with a message that is on_message

nvm its hard to explain

[fiery girder]

bruh

if you want help u need to explain what u are trying to do

[idle lantern]

it is really hard to explain

but i think its not possible

ty for listening anyways

[fiery girder]

anyone wanna be my test subject?

[glad cradle]

yeah, it's me who creates module(s) object(s), not python

[final iron]

Bots cannot see ephemeral messages, unless they’re the one who triggered the interaction, or sent the message

[idle lantern]

Yes that. User will sent a normal message but the bot has to reply with an ephemeral message

Is that possible?

[slate swan]

no

[final iron]

No. Ephemerals can only be sent in response to interactions

[idle lantern]

Not even if the user message triggers an interactable command somehow?

Which is what I originally wanted to know

[slate swan]

only interactions, which are e.g. buttons, slash commands, etc.

[idle lantern]

I see

Thanks for that kinda already guessed that it's not possible but still wanted to ask

[glad cradle]

why do you think that adding another bot will speed up things? they're still using the same gpu

[hushed galleon]

this question seems more suited for #async-and-concurrency, but generally asyncio.create_task() is for running asynchronous functions in the background and loop.run_in_executor() (or asyncio.to_thread()) is for running sync functions; if you have to mix blocking and non-blocking code together, i would suggest only threading the parts of the code that are blocking: ```py
async def update_user_data_to_collection(...):
data = await some_network_io()
processed = await asyncio.to_thread(process_gpu_stuff(data))
await upload_to_db(processed)

task = asyncio.create_task(update_user_data_to_collection(...))

Sidenote, the task should be stored to avoid garbage collection

https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.create_task```

[hushed galleon]

assuming your async function doesn't have code that blocks the event loop, sure

[shrewd fjord]

Either way you can start multiple same task using gather

Ok i just don't know the context and pulled out this 💀💀 dont scold me if its not related

[harsh orbit]

why when I add the view to this message this error happen

    button = discord.ui.Button(
        style=discord.ButtonStyle.link,
        label='🚀',

can someone help me with a bot? i learned from a tutorial from youtube so idk if i did it correctly it only works in private messages but not on the server i added it to

can I get something like this for adding normal commands please

[slate swan]

Use google

[slate swan]

Such a helpful response

Someone tell me how to make the bot tag a user that run a specific command?

I forgot how

You're looking for the .mention property

[slate swan]

Yeah

member.mention?

[brazen geyser]

Hey guyss, Im making suggestion command on my Discord bot and i need help with buttons, i have channel for mods where are send all suggestions and on that message is View with four buttons and i want that if you press one, it will send message and disable all of them. Can someone please help me? I have something made, but its not working.

[fading marlin]

Sure

[fading marlin]

Send your code

[brazen geyser]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/VUSQ

[fading marlin]

You have to respond to the interaction by editing the message. Embeds don't have an edit_message method

[brazen geyser]

but when i do that I cant responce that message anymore, right?

[fading marlin]

You can either respond to the interaction ephemerally first and then call Interaction.edit_original_response to edit the message with your new view, or respond by editing the message first and sending a non-ephemeral message later on

[brazen geyser]

ohh so when i want to make that ephemeral i should to the first thing

[fading marlin]

Yeah

You can still do it that way if you don't want to make it ephemerally though. The order doesn't really matter if you don't care about it being ephemeral

[shrewd vapor]

Heyo

You know how to put this and how to continue it working after restarting the bot ?

[fading marlin]

They're called persistent views. You can find an example here: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py

[slate swan]

can someone that knows about discord bots please help me with some simple feature im struggling with #1169421483026686062 message

[shrewd fjord]

Technically how many slash commands you can make?

1 command can have 25 sub commands which is equals to 1 slash command by discord so we can have 100 max.. then 100*25 = 2500 but what about subcommand's subcommand 💀💀

[final iron]

Sub commands cannot have sub commands

[shrewd fjord]

They can?

https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs/discussions/5218

it like
/parent sub1 sub2 [options]

[final iron]

Pretty sure that’s not possible

I haven’t seen any implementations, and I don’t really see how nesting the classes would work

I don’t really understand the point of the issue you sent either. It’s about a different topic

[shrewd fjord]

Well it is possible, give me a bit time let me show

[final iron]

Oh I’m tripping

It is possible

There’s a parent kwarg in app_commands.Group that allows you to set the parent group

Mb

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah

[dull fern]

hello im making my first discord bot
i have a question, what do "async" and "@client.event" mean?

[naive briar]

The async statement basically mark the following statement as asynchronous, for example:

# async function definition
async def func():
    ...

# iterate through async iterable/iterator
async for item in async_iterable:
    ...

And the @client.event is a decorator that marks the following function as an event of the bot

!d discord.Client.event

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.event

@event```
A decorator that registers an event to listen to.

You can find more info about the events on the [documentation below](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord-api-events).

The events must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine), if not, [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError) is raised.

Example

```py
@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Ready!')
```...

[wise cradle]

I want to know how can i add prefix to my bot
like for now it reads the messages which starts with .hi or messages like .roll
so there is no prefix for the bot rn

[naive briar]

What library are you using?

[wise cradle]

discord.py

[naive briar]

See the prefix commands page

[wise cradle]

yeah i saw but it didnt seem to work

[naive briar]

What about it didnt seem to work?

[wise cradle]

@client.command() async def test(ctx): await ctx.send("hello!")
This part

[naive briar]

And what's wrong with it?

[wise cradle]

the bot dosent respond to .test

[viral remnant]

yesterday my discord bot was working. but after i update my python to version10, its giving error:AttributeError: TypeError: Client.init() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'intents'

[naive briar]

How did you define your bot?

[naive briar]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see discord.py's related guide, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[wise cradle]

yeah i use @client.command

[naive briar]

Why are you defining client but registering the command on bot?

[wise cradle]

I just said i used client 😭

[naive briar]

You shouldn't have multiple bot instances, by the way

[naive briar]

You sent @bot.command() 🤷

[wise cradle]

my bad sorry edited it

so is it outdated or am i doing something wrong

[naive briar]

!paste can you send the full code?

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[wise cradle]

yeah sure give me few mins

[viral remnant]

thanks! it probably changed and i didnt update the version until yesterday, probably thats why it didnt work.

[wise cradle]

like where can i add the command thing in that

[naive briar]

See Why does on_message make my commands stop working?

Overriding the default provided on_message forbids any extra commands from running. To fix this, add a bot.process_commands(message) line at the end of your on_message

[wise cradle]

okai thank you so much

so i can basically replace @client.event with @client.listen('on_message')?

second one

[naive briar]

The page already explained it

But yes

[wise cradle]

thx

    await channel.send(embed=embed)

[fiery girder]

this means the id is wrong

[lyric sigil]

Okay thanks for the help !

[fiery girder]

and if the id is correct try

channel = client.get_guild(member.guild.id).get_channel(THEID)

[slate swan]

why fetch guild when you already have it under member.guild

[fiery girder]

oh yea @slate swan

i am dumb

how can imake that after a command execute after a time period it replies a message like in 5 min

i just want a response like a few minutes after maybe even an hour after

[slate swan]

use await asyncio.sleep(5) to wait for 5s

[fiery girder]

i dont want to wait

i want to make a poll command but after like 1 hour it will give the poll results back to the user

[slate swan]

still the easiest solution is to wait

@command()
async def ...(...):
    ...
    await asyncio.sleep(3600) # 1h
    # send results

[fiery girder]

will this like put other commands to wait aswell like it will not work with othercommands or it just this command?

[slate swan]

no its all async

(not blocking)

[fiery girder]

ok

so if its waiting for 1 hour in the poll command can someone else use the poll command?

[slate swan]

yea

[fiery girder]

ok thats great

[slate swan]

but keep in mind that if the bot restarts while the 1h waiting is still pending it wont be still waiting after reload

[fiery girder]

oh ok

[slate swan]

hence this is not the best solution but the easiest one for sure

[final iron]

Create a database that tracks the polls, and their times. Create a task to check every 30 seconds. If the poll is under 30 seconds don’t store it in the DB and just sleep the function

[fiery girder]

so i just save the time in database and i just get the current time and subtract it with the previus one to see if there has been an hour?

[slate swan]

i would say that easier would be if you insert to the database date that you want it to end and then check if this date already passed or not

[final iron]

It would probably be easier if you were to store the time it finishes, but there are factors where you’ll want store the time it started, and the duration

It’s your choice wether you want to store the datetime object or the unix time. I prefer unix time as it’s easier to compare, but storing the object itself would be more readable

[young dagger]

@final iron Do you use this logic for temp bans/mutes as well?

Im having a cog question
Here's main.py
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/CLUA
Help.py
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/HATA
Here's the few reasons i think the bot have problem:
1.Online status
First pic is this bot in the console
It didnt have the blue and purple text's that checked it online and the synced how many commands
Left one is other normal bot looks like
2.when i enter / in server, the command list didnt refresh, new commands i added not showing, old command i deleted still there
Anyone please tell me is this normal

[sage otter]

what will you in 2038 tho 🤓

[sage otter]

command tree resync?

[stark nexus]

Wdym?

[sage otter]

so i’m fairly sure that when you modify as well as add any new slash commands you need to resync them so that discord is updated with your new command

also from what it looks like between the two pictures. that you could be running two different versions of the code. one that has logging(the colored text you were talking about) setup and one that doesn’t.

[stark nexus]

I didn't change anything so i think it might should show up

[stark nexus]

Yah
It's still using old commands
It didn't refresh

How suppose i do?

[sage otter]

No, I use discord built in features

Literally 0 reason to use bots for that

[young dagger]

Not for bans?

[naive briar]

Why would you ban someone temporarily anyway?

[shrewd fjord]

Its great to way to get rid of annoying creeps for some time or another reason could be just remove their messages, tbh a faster way to remove messages

[naive briar]

I wouldn't want some obvious trolls to be back in my server, if I have one anyway

[shrewd fjord]

[patent lark]

Are you specifiying your intents in your bot constructor?

[patent lark]

@final iron Hey brother i gotta question. So i have created a configuration command in my bot, this function configures things like Automod and Embed colors. Heres my issue: I want to be able to re run a configuration question if an invalid response is detected. For example, if the configuration funtion asks the user "How long would you like Spam mutes to be?" And the user responds with "Pig", this is an invalid response and at this point, i want to ask that question again. Do i need to use a while loop? Or is there something that will handle this better for me?

[fading marlin]

What are you using to configure your bot? Do you have a list of questions you send and wait for a message response from the user?

[patent lark]

Yes

And this is all being written to a database

[fading marlin]

Is there any reason why you don't have subcommands for specific configurations instead?

[proper python]

this is the initial setup. There will be subcommands for specific configurations in the future

[patent lark]

^

[patent lark]

If i were to use subcommands, wouldnt this be less user-convenient?

It would make the process longer at hand

[proper python]

would be a hell of a lot easier to make tho lmao

[rotund flame]

my lord that small nickname got me some reading problems

[fading marlin]

I mean, say I want to configure the embed color, but to do that I have to answer some other 4 questions that I don't want to change

[proper python]

again, we'll probably implement the subcommands afterwards. We just need an initial streamlined setup

[fading marlin]

If you want to do it the way you currently are, a while loop is probably your best bet. Though I'd strongly recommend joining that up into a group with subcommands for those features

[patent lark]

Thank you for your advise.

[proper python]

one more thing: bot.wait_for("interaction") is a thing, right?

[fading marlin]

Yeah

!d discord.on_interaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_interaction

discord.on_interaction(interaction)```
Called when an interaction happened.

This currently happens due to slash command invocations or components being used.

Warning

This is a low level function that is not generally meant to be used. If you are working with components, consider using the callbacks associated with the [`View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View) instead as it provides a nicer user experience.

New in version 2.0.

[devout drum]

anyone know how I can make it to where instead of me having to use cd all the time it is just always there

wym

[proper python]

when other users click on it, it runs the rest of the code. So I'm tryna stop that from happening but still allow the user that ran the command to interact

[patent lark]

😂

Lookup how to set your default directory in command prompt

You should be checking that in the callback of the SelectMenu

on_interaction should be rarely, if ever used

.flatten() is not a thing anymore

[left dew]

what do i use instead

[final iron]

flatten is outdated

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator) that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

You must have [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history) to do this.

Examples

Usage...

[slate swan]

there is an example on docs

[final iron]

It’s an iterable now

[slate swan]

Flattening into a list:

messages = [message async for message in channel.history(limit=123)]
# messages is now a list of Message...

oh okay

it still won’t add anything to the file

Im coding a discord chess game, when i run the game, it went well until it get to black turn (white go first), i tried to move d7 to d6 and it gave me this error:

IllegalMoveError: no matching legal move for d7d6 (d7 -> d6) in rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1

Did i do sth wrong here or are there any bug

[final iron]

Have you tried reading it?

[left dew]

yes

[final iron]

So…

[left dew]

i have the exact same code for another databse and it works fine

so im not sure

[final iron]

Okay and?

Read the embed…

[slate swan]

looks like this error comes from chess library not discord

[final iron]

Literally read what it says

Follow the very simple instructions

[left dew]

my code isnt too large tho

u want my whole code file?

[final iron]

Doesn’t matter

[final iron]

Read the embed…

Follow the extremely, extremely simple instructions…

[turbid condor]

Welp even first line of error tells everything in the chess one

[left dew]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/B4CQ

[final iron]

You’re not writing to a file anywhere in the code

[left dew]

await loa_logs(alldata, messages, dbchannel) does

async def loa_logs(data, messages, dbchannel):
  buffer = io.StringIO()
  buffer.name = "loa.py"
  buffer.write(str(data))
  buffer.seek(0)
  await messages.delete()
  await dbchannel.send(file=discord.File(buffer, 'loa.py'))```

[final iron]

Do you know what StringIO does?

[left dew]

not really

i did but ive forgot

[slate swan]

!d io.StringIO

[final iron]

Pretty sure you didn’t

[unkempt canyon]

io.StringIO

class io.StringIO(initial_value='', newline='\n')```
A text stream using an in-memory text buffer. It inherits [`TextIOBase`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.TextIOBase).

The text buffer is discarded when the [`close()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.IOBase.close) method is called.

The initial value of the buffer can be set by providing *initial\_value*. If newline translation is enabled, newlines will be encoded as if by [`write()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.TextIOBase.write). The stream is positioned at the start of the buffer which emulates opening an existing file in a `w+` mode, making it ready for an immediate write from the beginning or for a write that would overwrite the initial value. To emulate opening a file in an `a+` mode ready for appending, use `f.seek(0, io.SEEK_END)` to reposition the stream at the end of the buffer.

[final iron]

This is not used to write to files lmao

[left dew]

what do i use instead

[final iron]

This is why we don’t copy and paste code off the internet

[final iron]

open

[left dew]

i havent

the file is in a discord channel

and why do u have to be so condescending

okay i may not know everything unlike you

but theres no need to be rude

[final iron]

Not being rude lmao

[left dew]

then you must have a great personaility

[final iron]

Thanks for the compliment

!d discord.File.fp

[unkempt canyon]

discord.File.fp

A file-like object opened in binary mode and read mode or a filename representing a file in the hard drive to open.

Note

If the file-like object passed is opened via open then the modes ‘rb’ should be used.

To pass binary data, consider usage of io.BytesIO.

[final iron]

You can get a file like object with that

Then open it in memory of course and do allat

[left dew]

but the code is the exact same as another databse and that works fine. ive sent an empty file name loa.py to the channel, is that why nothing is being appended to it?

[final iron]

Possibly? You’re not using StringIO for its intended use so it’s a given it’s not going to function possibly each time

[left dew]

how would i send thw file to the channel for the intended use

[final iron]

This’ll return a file-like object

Then you can do everything from there

[left dew]

i just sent the file like this

@bot.command()
async def a(ctx):
  c = bot.get_channel(1155888521840693359)
  buffer = io.StringIO()
  await c.send(file=discord.File(buffer, 'loa.py'))```

[final iron]

Okay?

Like I said before, you’re not using StringIO for its intended purpose

Sometimes it’ll work, sometimes it won’t

[fiery girder]

how can i get a category from its id?

[rotund flame]

Yes with .get_channel(id)

[fiery girder]

i want category

not channel

[rotund flame]

CategoryChannel

Is a type of channel

As forum channel and voice channel too

[hushed galleon]

in dpy 2.0 button and interaction got flipped around to (interaction, button)

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.button

The function being decorated should have three parameters, self representing the discord.ui.View, the discord.Interaction you receive and the discord.ui.Button being pressed.

[cold oyster]

woah

too much to understand

[hushed galleon]

i havent even given a detailed answer tho

[cold oyster]

😭

[cold oyster]

So, button.response.send_message?

[hushed galleon]

ergh, i mean sure you could write that...

[cold oyster]

Any better method

[hushed galleon]

im just saying to flip button and interaction around in your parameters

[cold oyster]

Oh okay

@discord.ui.button(label="Claim", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def order1(self, button: discord.ui.Button,  interaction: discord.Button):
        await interaction.send_message("You clicked me!")```

Smth like this 😭 ?

[pseudo token]

Elloh

[hushed galleon]

interaction should be the second parameter of your function, and button should be the third parameter

oh wtf did discord.py's repository deleted again oh nevermind github's just having a bunch of issues that broke the discord.py repo (https://www.githubstatus.com/)

Works?

[hushed galleon]

i think you meant to write discord.Interaction instead of discord.Button

[cold oyster]

nope it dosent

[cold oyster]

huh didnt u say use discord.Button

OH WAITI

Im so dumb sry 💀

    async def order1(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.send_message("You clicked me!")```

Error again

[hushed galleon]

interaction.response.send_message was correct the first time too

[cold oyster]

Then what's the error here

It says interaction failed 😭

[hushed galleon]

most likely because you used interaction.send_message which isn't a valid method

[cold oyster]

Oh

interaction.response.send_message()?

[cold oyster]

Also error :(

Nvm nvm it worked thanks

Im soooo dumbb ahhhhh im embarrased

[hushed galleon]

fyi during dpy 2.0's development it used to be (button, interaction), but when danny left and development stopped, various forks came out to finish the remaining work which is why disnake, nextcord, and pycord all still have it ordered as (button, interaction)

when danny came back and resumed development, he thought it would make more sense to have it ordered as (interaction, button), presumably to be consistent with the new slash commands which would have interaction as their first parameter, but of course people had already started posting code using (button, interaction) which has led to many more people copying their code without realizing it's not compatible with discord.py anymore

[cold oyster]

may god bless you 😇

😭

[hushed galleon]

oh cool the discord.py repo is back, this is the official example would have cited earlier had i been able to find it
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.3.2/examples/views/confirm.py#L29-L31

[unkempt canyon]

examples/views/confirm.py lines 29 to 31

@discord.ui.button(label='Confirm', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
async def confirm(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
    await interaction.response.send_message('Confirming', ephemeral=True)```

[cold oyster]

Is it possible to send a message to a specific channel using interaction?

[hushed galleon]

you can't do that as a response to the interaction itself, but you can get the TextChannel object you do want to send to and use that afterwards: py @discord.ui.button(label='Confirm', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green) async def confirm(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button): await interaction.response.send_message('Confirming', ephemeral=True) channel = interaction.client.get_channel(1234) # channel ID await channel.send('Someone just used the confirm button!')

!d discord.Client.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_channel

get_channel(id, /)```
Returns a channel or thread with the given ID.

Changed in version 2.0: `id` parameter is now positional-only.

Can i go to the next iteration of a tasks.loop and keep the interval till the next-next one?
what i want is
print(0) -> dispatch_send -> wait for 1.5s -> next iteration of the task

[fading marlin]

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop.restart you could call this after dispatching

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop.restart

restart(*args, **kwargs)```
A convenience method to restart the internal task.

Note

Due to the way this function works, the task is not returned like [`start()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop.start).
